It's been ages since my last blog post - ages since I've made a card too, but I had to rustle this one up as it's my Mum's birthday this weekend. Now this image and sentiment are from Bugaboo, maybe not suitable for everyone, but I know my Mum will see the funny side...I hope!

Papers this time are Bo Bunny Pin Cushion and colouring by Promarkers.

Sorry there hasn't been much blog action here for a bit, we are just back from a week in Berlin and aside from that I've just been enjoying having the boys home all Summer, in a couple of weeks they'll be gone! Jx

I really don't know where this summer has gone - the weeks have just flown past and the sun is long gone - blown away by nasty hurricane Bertha! Not long now till the boys head off for Uni either so my incredibly busy summer home will all to soon be calm again.

Really don't like vintage and struggle with this style - but hopefully you guys won't and will give us some lovely projects to feast our eyes on.

As for my card - well I do like it, I'm just not sure if it can be classed as vintage. It doesn't use bright colours and the girl looks old fashioned so that classes as vintage... right?

Everything used, except the card stock was generated from the Ooh La La CD "Say it with Words." I'm new to this type of crafting, but it's nice to have a change and I did enjoy working from the CD again. I also discovered that it's well worth putting quality paper into the printer when running off design papers, funnily enough they come out so much nicer!

I'm so happy! I've had major computer problems these past few days, huge red internet warning messages and no access to my blog from the PC. Colin however has just fixed it - a little battery problem which feeds the clock. Something I never even knew existed. Anyway, battery changed, clock working and internet back! Yip-ee!

Now onto today's card wich actually is for a Colin, who passed all his SQA exams yesterday and has now secured a place at Robert Gordon's University. We are all so happy for him, well done Colin, all that hard work paid off.

Now, as some of you may know, Colin's summer job is at Mackie's Ice-Cream and so, when I saw this image, I knew it would be perfect for him.

So his CAS card uses a House Mouse image, kraft and Promarkers for colour. The personalised sentiment was computer generated, love the cone-gratulations! (That was Craig's idea!)
